Under-21 team

Like last year, the Vodacom Blue Bulls Under-21 side is the national champions again. They defeated Western Province 22-13 in the final of the Absa Under-21 Provincial Championship final in Durban on Saturday and won the title for the second year in a row.

This win was not only the second in as many tears for coach Nollis Marais, but also a second title for the coach, as Tuks won the Varsity Cup earlier this season.

The Under-21 side played great rugby all year. With captain Wiaan Liebenberg leading from the front, the team overcame obstacles like losing pivot Tony Jantjies early in the season and regular call-ups to the Currie Cup side to the likes of Arno Botha, Jean Cook and Jan Serfontein.

Ultimately the team's attacking mind set, great tactical skills and awareness and a special bond amongst the players resulted in the Under-21 Cup returning to his berth in the trophy cabinet.

The following 43 players represented the team in 2012:
